[flexibeast]

The average conversation between the unprivileged (U) and the privileged (P):

U: *notes existence of issue*
P: *denies issue exists at all*
U: *counters P's denial, noting knowledge from experience*
P: *claims U can't be objective*
U: *notes issues with P's position being the 'objective' one*
P: *attempts to explain away U's experiences*
U: *angrily takes issue with P's attempt to invalidate U's experiences*
P: *notes that U would have more success if U didn't get so angry*

:-P
